When did I buy my Honda CB 450 Nighthawk?
I bought my Honda CB 450 Nighthawk (1985 model) two years ago. It was very well kept and mantained, with about 40 thousand kilometers. The bike had been kept in a garage for a long time when I bought it, so I had to put it back in shape before driving it on the road, and I have to say your website and forums helped me a great deal.
Where did Paul get his Honda Nighthawk from?
Fast forwarding, after I graduated high school, I was abroad with YWAM and Mercy Ships in a few spots, including Guinea, Africa, where our team rented a sweet Honda 90 motorcycle, which was the first time I’d had a chance to re-learn this lost art, and I was re-hooked.
What kind of engine does a Honda Nighthawk have?
Brand new Keihin 118 main jet and 40 primary. This thing takes of like a rocket ship and louder than any other bike in my area. Lots of heavy gauge steel wool fixed that, but I would not recommend anything past 6k RPM. Drove myself nuts for about a month playing with these carbs. No mater what, there’s a brick wall at 6 grand.

What kind of bike is the Nighthawk 750?
This is my 1992 Nighthawk 750. I picked it up for a few hundred bucks along with a low-mileage crashed 2000 parts bike. The ’92 didn’t run but turned over, so I proceeded to pull the carbs. 7 hours later and with a mostly disassembled rear end I got them off. Man I don’t like this air box!
